Sol 5.6

  1. My God, O Lord of bounty and grace, here is

    my soul’s need, come to rest at Your door.

  2. My God, O Lord of bounty, Your servant is wretched;

    I call upon You, hoping for an opening of goodness and mercy.

  3. My God, O Lord of bounty, so far-reaching and all-sufficing are

    Your favors, bestowing abundance upon all creation.

  4. Praising You, O Lord of bounty, I am not despairing,

    despite hardship and obstacles, of a breath of mercy.

  5. No sooner does privation distress me than there find relief

    my troubles, O Lord of bounty, through a breath from You.

  6. Within the vast bounty of God, the Lord of bounty, there is room

    to ease the fulfillment of my aims and drive away my dire need.

  7. Whenever adversity hems me in, it cannot stand

    against Your bounty, O Lord of bounty, but clears away.

  8. I hearten my hopes, though affliction has grown grave;

    perhaps my relief from You, O Lord of bounty, has begun to pour down.

  9. How many glad tidings of Yours, O Lord of bounty, have descended

    upon me, with blessings of kindness and a gracious glance.

  10. I was created fretful when calamity descends—

    such is the habitual way of human nature.

  11. Yet my provision stands apportioned with God,

    and God’s bounty is never too narrow to satisfy my need.
